Our sermon is on one
dishonest tax collector or
revenue official who lived
in the city of Jericho –
Zacchaeus
The people of Jericho were a very sad people. Why
were they sad? They were sad because they had to
pay taxes … and their taxes were very high.
The reason their taxes
were so high was that
there was a dishonest
tax collector in the city.
The tax collector’s
name was Zacchaeus.
Zacchaeus would always collect
more tax than people owed.
He would give part of the money
to the Roman government and
keep the rest for himself!
As a result of him being
dishonest, Zacchaeus
became one of the
richest person in
Jericho but also most
hated public official. He
became an outcast with
no friends.
Zacchaeus heard that Jesus
was coming to Jericho. He
wanted to see Jesus, but he
was so short that he could
not see above the heads of
the people who crowded
around Jesus.
He saw a Sycamore tree
nearby and decided to climb
the tree so that he could see
Jesus.
He climbed…
And climbed…
And climbed…
And climbed…
And climbed…
And climbed…
And climbed…
And climbed…
Until finally, he was perched high in
the top of the tree!
When Jesus passed
by, he looked up in
the Sycamore tree
and saw Zacchaeus.
“Zacchaeus, you
come down,” Jesus
said. “I am going to
your house today.”
Zacchaeus climbed
down from the tree
as fast as he could.
Jesus went with
Zacchaeus to his
house and had
dinner with him.
Some of the people were very angry with Jesus
because he went to the home of Zacchaeus.
But once Jesus was in his
home, Zacchaeus changed.
He told Jesus that he would
give half of his money to the
poor -- and if he had cheated
anyone -- he would pay them
back. He promised to repay
them four times the amount
he had stolen.
That day a lot of people in Jericho were much
richer -- and much, much happier.
Zacchaeus was happy too!
Jesus had changed his life!
